Sommario/riassunto

This practical text is an essential source of information for those wanting to know how to deal with the variability that exists in every engineering situation.   Using typical engineering data, it presents the basic statistical methods that are relevant, in simple numerical terms. In addition, statistical terminology is translated into basic English. In the past, a lack of communication between engineers and statisticians, coupled with poor practical skills in quality management and statistical engineering, was damaging to products and to the economy. The disastrous consequence of setting t
